York Eb Helicon for sale
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2004 8:33 pm
I have recently acquired another Eb helicon, and this one has to go. I thought that I'd offer it here before putting it up on ebay. This was made by J.W. York & Sons in about 1904. It has a pretty big dent on the "bottom" tubing (see the photos), the main tuning slide has been extended to play in low pitch, but one of the tubes needs to be resoldered, one of the braces supporting the leadpipe is loose, and it has a small patch on the edge of the bell. Even so it plays the way it is. The valves are worn, but it plays OK with heavy oil. Make me an offer via email.
